Because now you can guard against the brain-eating baddies by investing in what is claimed to be the world's first zombie-proof shed.

A Leeds-based manufacturer is offering the Zombie Fortification Cabin for a bank-busting £69,995.

And installation, solar panels, riot gear and security cameras will set you back another £20,780.

Other extras for the military-style man cave – which comes with an enclosed vegetable patch and built-in gym – include a water cannon, search light and flame thrower.

What do you think of the anti-zombie shed?

0+ VOTES SO FAR

With reinforced slit windows and barbed-wire guarding against any potential apocalypse, plus a roller-shutter garage to "store escape vehicles" the super shed even comes with a 10-year anti-zombie guarantee.

Tiger Log Cabins are yet to chalk up a sale of the shed but claim there has been some serious interest from America.

And company bosses say they will stick to their word and build it if someone stumps up the cash, although the would-be zombie foe might struggle for planning permission.

Marketing director Jack Sutcliffe said: "Over the last few years’ zombie culture has been on the rise. From Zombie role-play games to newly released TV shows like The Walking Dead, Zombies are an increasingly common presence in day-to-day life."
